Melis Restaurant
Campbell Park, Milton Keynes
24/11/2023: Un lugar muy bonito y acogedor. Perfecto para ir en familia, yo fui con mi novia y a ella le encanto, a ella le gusta mucho todo lo que tenga que ver con Turquía, es bueno si tu eres fan de la comida mediterránea.
23/11/2023: Probably the best lamb kebap I have had in the UK, the meat just melted in the mouth.
One tip, we had a pide to start to share between two, unless you are very hungry, DON'T. They are excellent, but a full meal in themselves. WE are used to the pide served in Turkey which is a mini boat shaped pizza size, not 18" long. Try the Turkish wine (Yakut) , reasonable price and as good as the European or antipodean options.

Mu Mu
East, Maidstone, 20-30£
19/10/2021: My fiancé and I decided to go for a nice mid week meal at Mumu. My partner picked off the £15 week day set menu and I had some dishes off the normal menu. You wouldn’t be able to tell the difference in which menu you’d selected from the quality of the food was great, and tasted even better! Our waiter Harvey was also fantastic, quick service with a friendly jokey vibe. He was great! Will definitely be back.
18/10/2021: Great birthday meal, great value set menu, great cocktails, great service from Harvey, really looked after us all and made the boy feel special with his mocktails! We will be back again in a couple of weeks to do it again!

Restaurant 27
St Jude, Portsmouth, 60-100£
06/06/2021: We booked this well in advance, on arrival left standing there no one acknowledged us Eventually the Maitre De came over with all the personality of a funeral director! and said can I have a word and directed us to a corner out of the way of diners.( We couldn't think for the life of us what we had done!!) He said he had tried to ring us to confirm we were still coming!! WE HAD BOOKED ! Why did he need to ring us? He said they'd had a lot of no shows. ?? Our table had been given away!! but if we would like to have a drink first he would find us a table in 40 mins! When we said ok can we sit by the bar and wait we were told to go to the pub down the road!!The Florence Arms. Why we went back afterwards we still don't know! While we were in the pub he texted us ( On booking , to the question any allergies I said my husband is allergic to cream so no cream) he text to say is that hot cream or cold he's allergic to? WHAT ! NO CREAM I said . Silence came the reply! The Florence Arms gastro pub is worth a visit,with jolly helpful staff and food looked great. Why oh why did we go back to Restaurant 27 !!! Food while plenty of effort gone into it ,it was sickley with loads of cream in everything! Service from staff was good but dour as was the decor, no choice of menu you had what you were given! The evening was supposed to be a treat for my husbands birthday. We would never patronize this restaurant again.deffinately not worth the £150 spent.The Maitre Dr needs to go on a customer care course.My husband was ill all night and next day. ruined our day!
04/06/2021: The restaurant was fully booked and busy on a Friday night, and despite the initial abruptness of our welcome and being pointed to our table, this is definitely worth a visit.The tasting menu has a range of delicious food, with the staff working hard throughout to ensure you are not sat waiting for too long in between courses. We did not opt for the wine pairings but would do on future visits.We left not feeling too full or hungry, which is often a sign of a balanced menu. Food quality is high.

The Corner House Canterbury Restaurant
Barton, Canterbury
30/05/2022: The food is presented beautifully and tasted amazing, you felt like you were almost in a fine dining restaurant. The restaurant itself is cosy and has lots of character.
29/05/2022: Wir waren mit vier Personen dort essen und es war soooo lecker!Die Auswahl war sehr gut, auch bei einer insgesamt kleinen Karte. Es gab je ein Gericht mit Huhn, Schwein, Rind und Fisch, sowie zwei vegetarische Hauptgänge.Die Vorspeisen waren ebenfalls hervorragend.Und das Dessert war zum Dahinschmelzen.Das Ambiente ist aufgeräumt aber trotzdem gemütlich. Der Service sehr gut gekleidet und zuvorkommend. Die Preise sind sehr reell.

Dipalee lounge
Buckingham North, Aylesbury Vale
16/02/2024: Our first visit to Dipalee when we took our son out for dinner. A warm welcome, a good menu choice and the food was delicious. If I was going to be really 'picky' the food cold have been a tad hotter. To clarify, not by chilli but electricity/gas. Having said that I wold definitely eat there again. In relation to vale for money = excellent.
24/01/2024: This place was really good, the atmosphere and food was great. The waiter, Rakib, was really helpful and fast with his service

Thewitchez Photo Design Cafe Bar
Queen's Park, Brighton and Hove
23/01/2024: Having read some very positive reviews, I had high hopes for this restaurant, but it fell shockingly short of expectations. The decor was interesting, if rather OTT, with lighting so low it was a challenge to read the menu. Thankfully we'd checked it out in advance so the offer of having it read out to us was declined.
We started by sharing 'The Sea' where the most prominent feature seemed to be dry bread. There were a couple of pieces of herring. But if there was any caviar, it was extremely well disguised.
Two main courses were shared. 'B.C' - a Peruvian inspired chocolate chili dish was a risk that didn't pay off. Very little was eaten - just didn't work for us. 'Little Hooves' seemed to be a safer bet as one of the server's recommendations, but it was a bland stew with over-fried dumplings. Again most was left on the plate.
So plenty of room for dessert!
We ordered two - a crumble and a brownie. A few minutes after ordering we were told the crumble would need preparing which would take twenty minutes. We cancelled and elected to share the brownie, which was supposed to be floating on a bed of whisky. There was no whisky.
When asked about this on checking the bill, our server gleefully informed us that they must have forgot to add it in the kitchen - but the dish was the same price with or without the whisky, so no harm done.
Really!
Oh, the brownie was okay, hence the extra star.
21/01/2024: Amazing amazing amazing
From the moment you ring the bell, the welcome, the decor, the service, is outstanding.
We had a 5pm sitting, the latest we would book when we tried the day before.
We were lucky to have one of the owners encourage us to sample the wine and then talk is through the menu. I'd like to thank her because I'm not overly adventurous and might have chosen something more familiar had she not enthused about their food.
We saw lots of dishes as the restaurant filled up and everything looked amazing. The food we had was the best, freshest and tastiest we've eaten in a long time.
We highly recommend the Hunter's Stew and the Perogi but to be honest I don't think you could have a bad meal here if you tried.
I'm hoping to come back with my family for my birthday and will definitely book in advance.
Thank you all for an excellent evening

Marmara Restaurant
Castle Without, Windsor and Maidenhead
02/03/2024: Booked this restaurant for lunch with family. Beautifully cooked and presented food. We had mixed meze then lamb shish. Super tender meat. Service was prompt and quiet, chilled atmosphere. We have found a gem and will be back.
17/02/2024: Still the best mediterranean food in town in my opinion. Comfortably my favourite restaurant in the area! Lamb Sheesh is brilliantly cooked and always leaves you wanting more! Can often squeeze people in but would book on busier nights. Highly recommended.

Denis Restaurant
Bicester Town, Cherwell, <20£
09/11/2023: Was visiting the area and decided to go after seeing good reviews. This place lived up to our expectations. Lovely food and great service. The meat was really tender and fresh and everything was delicious. The staff were very professional and attentive without being intrusive.
31/10/2023: We went for a meal after visiting Waddesdon Manor and which we all found rather boring. As this restaurant was as near Bicester we wanted a meal before heading home. This was a great choice. The food was beautifully presented and my husbands dessert was homemade, light and delicious too. I would happily eat here again if we ever travelled to the area again or were passing by.
